U16 Boys Southern Cup 09/10

[Matty]

Just for the people that were asking:D

[Matty]

So how does everyone see the comp looking so far?

my boys had a good showing at grading, unfortunately i couldnt make it but from all reports we seemed to do ok getting through in 3rd spot.

just wondering how other teams are looking???

I do not think comp will be that uneven. 4 teams from one Pool made it through. Logan beat Bris Bronze by 2, Toow Beat Logan by 8, Bris Bronze beat Toow by 8. SW dead beat all of them, but the 3 point game to Toow shows they can be beaten too.

Redlands by +4 over Caboolture. And Redlands, Caboolture and Logan all beat Sea Hawks by 12-15 pts.

Brissy Silver +22 over Noosa shows them as the cream of the crop however Brissy Silver and South West had very similar losses to Logan and Maroochydore at Premier League grading so do look fairly balanced, and as stated earlier, SW have shown they are beatable. And Brissy Silver only Beat Redlands by 2 at PL grading as well.

So I don't think will be too uneven.
I think Brissy Silver will finish on top, but will drop one or two on the way. Could be a few teams trading wins and losses after that to work out the order.

I really see no evidence to say it will be uneven. All the Blow out wins were against teams that dropped to Challenge Cup.

Brissy Silver and SW both came close last week to making Premier League, but also got belted by the better teams in that comp, so they would not have Premier League contenders had they made it. They'll have more even games in SC than they would have in PL, except they have a good chance of winning most in SC. They can always challenge for a Div 1 spot at the Wildcard for classics if they want.

Noosa defeated Sippy Downs today 114 to 3. They then backed up to defeat Maroochydore 1 55 -42. 1st time ever that Noosa has defeated a Mdore1 team. Hopefully wont be the last. Good Job Coach and team, not a bad way to head into the start of sth cup season, defeating a premier league team.

Who are Sippy Downs are they just a new random team.....sorry to say but they got PUMPED BAD

[Unregistered]

Yeah just some practices matches as i understand it. Sippy Downs is that new Sunshine Coast Uni team.

[MC]

What was that comp for? just some practice games or what?

Yes, just practice matches.

Both were quality wins, although probably pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Still I liked what I got from my team in both games and hopefully we can continue grow and improve.

Maroochydore look pretty raw at this stage, however with there size and coaching I'm sure they will do well this season. Good luck to them in PL.

Sippy Downs, as has been stated already, is the new Sunshine Coast Uni team? They're currently getting ready to play their first season of Challenge Cup. They're a good bunch of people so hopefully they can improve and get a couple wins. On a side note, their 14's team looked pretty good, and should do well.

Thanks,

[MC]

Also we really appreciate all teams for coming out to play.
It was good practice, but even better fun.

look for Cabo to finish a bit higher than this...they have 5 kids that were in the Blue Chip programme and from all reports have been excelling at trainings. 1 massive kid will dominate. the twins are naturally athletic too, and a couple of nice shooter...Caboolture might finally be able to have an inside-outside kinda game....

good luck to everyone this weekend should be a very close season

I thought that caboolture had the easy pool at grading and they still lost a game so I think they could be beaten.

A few kids from the bluechip program didn't even make a team this year so you can't use that as evidence for a great team.

In their defence they were missing their coach.

caboolture will need to shoot better from the 3 point line as they didnt really have much success inside the paint.

think they hit 3 shots from the outside, and didnt get alot other than second shots on some missed opportunities by the bronze boys. for a team with mostly bottom aged kids they will need to be respected this season as they could upset some teams.

congrats to the bronze boys gettin up over twba tonite by 9

credit to south west for scoring well because they had no answer for suns big guy. in the end suns foul trouble killed them, sw would have had like20 points just off free throws.

SW won by about 5 in the end I think

What is the story with the '5 on, 5 off' sub thing with bbi silver?Saw them doing it at PL grading and now they are still doing it. They were lucky to get that win last nite. but they have some real talent and should dom S.Cup

I have never liked the 5on 5off idea. the boys need to learn to play with all combinations of players and not just their 5.
I guess it might work if you have a really strong bench, but I dont see that with Bris Silver.

From what I have seen, Brisbane Silver go 10 deep, spill over to Brisbane Bronze and go another 10 deep. Each player performing well for their contribution to their present results.

To under estimate any of these players would be a mistake.

Check the current ladder for reinforcement of this observation, Brisbane Silver & Bronze are 1 & 2. Early days ofcourse, but it does incate they can all play at this level.

Encouraging to see the biggest winning margin on the weekend was only 13 points. Makes for a great season where any team can win on their day. Well done to all teams.

Brissy Bronze aren't 10 deep, Silver maybe...

Bronze are perhaps 4 deep, with Declan playing really well. And two wins doesn't say otherwise. Toowoomba are only about 3-4 deep and Caboolture the same.

But for a third team, that's impressive still. The two teams mentioned above are first teams for those associations so BBI continue to foster good development through a competitve local comp (size helps of course). And V-Dogg seems to be doing well with what he's got and subbed well throughout team to always keep some weapons on and rest others. I think they'll struggle when playing top 4 teams though. (Which in my opinion would be Silver, Noosa, SW and Redlands)

I understand what you are saying, and it has some merit. Bronze will have to step up again when they play these teams and that will be tough.
Bronze has some key players that are doing a lot of the scoring, but they are well supported by the rest that are holding up their end in defense, offensive transition, etc to get the ball to the finishers.
I maintain they do go 10 deep, they are just not all big scorers, and don't have to be for this team to be successful. If they were not so deep, Vdog would not be able to rotate them has he has, and still get the wins.

This laddaer looks pretty accurate to what will be the end of Southern cup.
Bronze vs Redlands will be a great game. This will defintely test bronze ability and if they are 'real' contestants. It will also be a great game between Noosa vs Cab. I believe that Noosa has the egde here with a great outside shooting game. Any other thoughts?

yeah but CAb have a massive dude that dropped like 20 first half points on SW last week. they had no answer to him. suns have some big(small in height) outside theats that have had a couple of niggling injuries to start the season.

i see this game being a high scoring sea-sawing battle, not a whole lot of defence.

3 out of 4 right. Wouldn't say I was too far off, 4 out of 4 last week. I got the Noosa, Caboolture game right and that was the one being debated. I just overrated Redlands because I like Bronze.

But I think Brissy Bronze fans shouldn't be on here getting smart. Just let your players do the talking.

Brissy Silver, Bronze, Noosa and SW now 3-0, Toowoomba, Logan, Redlands & Caboolture now 0-3. So who'll be the last team undefeated and who'll be the last team to get a win??

Caboolture & Toowoomba play so a win for one there.
Redlands & Logan play so another to get first win there.

SW & Bronze Play, so someone's first loss there,
Noosa and Silver to give the other their first loss also. Finally the comp will take some more shape.

My tips are Caboolture to squeeze a tight win at home
Redlands to beat Logan by 10
SW to get Bronze by 6 (yes, I dare to tip against Bronze again, get over it, it's not personal)
Silver to touch up Noosa by 20.

Hopefully I get 3 out of 4 as I tipped against our team, but thats how I see it.

[Unregistered]

I think the winners will be.

Cab to beat toowoomba (1-10)
Redlands to beat Logan by 10
SW vs Bronze will be close i say SW by a 3 point buzzer.
Silver vs Noosa i say silver by (11+) But i think it will come close as we have unpredicted Noosa every week. and they have proved us wronge.
Yay Finaly this comp will start to take some shape Good Luck to all teams.

Clock starts on the fall of the refs hand.

the clock does start from a magic spell bond to the refs arm falling, the ref wouldnt of held his hand up for 3 extra seconds and also, the ref may of dropped his hand, how ever, human error, the person may have just forgot to start the clock...

Yes but the 60 to 10 foul count does
also the refs counted it even though they saw the clock didn't start excuse me if im wrong but that is cheating. Also Im not a player im a neutral fan.

it would have helped if either ref had their hand up. clock had 2.7 ticks left, kid caught the pass at the foul line took a dribble shot was blocked onto the backboard, they fumbled the ball then gained control and shot it and it went in, congrats to south west but in my opinion shot didnt go in before the buzzer went, and at the end of the day they will say it went in we say it didnt go in before the clock read 0. think that the referees had a major effect ion the game as every time there was slight contact with the swest boys it was a foul, and we took the ball inside we got hit on the arms no call. that is bball though sometimes you get those sometimes you dont. think that each association needs to do a better job with its referees to help educate them and help them to call the game consistenly. my issue with them is not the amount of fouls but the consistency which there was none.

maybe we could get our associations to assign a ref to each team that travels with each team for the season that way each team has a ref from their association. i dont exactly know how this can be done but something does need to be done.

good job to south west u guys played hard and played for the full 40 minutes, to my boys unlucky and greta effort hanging tough with everything through that game you guys showed great character and will be better for the experience. welcome to playing on the road.

suns by 21.

toowoomba were new close think it was like 19 - 7 at the end of the first. Suns too big and made a lot of 3's. Think their #8 hit 4 or 5 from outside. Suns zone too strong.

toowoomba's Piok played hard (as do all the Piok's from toowoomba) and their other big #13 crashed boards.

great fitst win for the suns, finally playing as a TEAM now.

I just looked at the Game Details on the BQ Website. Foul Count was 21 -16. So doesn't sound as biased as you make out. Unless the score sheet people were cheating as well. Considering both teams supply bench officials I doubt the person on the clock and the sheet were cheating as one would have been from Brissy.

I was Coaching my team at the time so wasn't at the game but if you count time the way you count fouls, I wouldn't trust your judgement on whether the shot was off or not.

I predict we'll see all teams with one loss soon enough as Brissy Silver will beat SW but I pick Bronze to upset Silver when they meet.

As for this weekends games

Bronze to give Noosa there second loss, Up 8

Silver beating Caboolture by 15 to stay undefeated

SW beating Redlands by 13 to also stay undefeated.

In the battle of the cellar, Toowoomba to win at home over Logan by 9

I just looked at the Game Details on the BQ Website. Foul Count was 21 -16. So doesn't sound as biased as you make out. Unless the score sheet people were cheating as well. Considering both teams supply bench officials I doubt the person on the clock and the sheet were cheating as one would have been from Brissy.

the brissy person was on the shot clock which has nothing to do with the scroe.

Yes but the 60 to 10 foul count does
also the refs counted it even though they saw the clock didn't start excuse me if im wrong but that is cheating. Also Im not a player im a neutral fan.

Please include this in nominations for 'POST OF THE YEAR 2009"

All 12 players fouled out = 60 fouls , the old 14 man basketball team is back.

You're not a player ...really .

[Coach B]

I believe there should be 2 from each side on the score bench for the four designated rolls. If Brissy didnt have one on score sheet or clock then why not? I thought this was the acceptable delgation of rolls to prevent any 'cheating' on the scorebench. Was this the case in this particular game?

Interesting to see the 'real' foul count. Even really when you think about it, and quite a decent ammount of fouls in the game. On that stat you would think it was a flowing game and in SC prob well reffed, but I wasn't there......

[Unregistered]

who cares anymore im sure both teams are over it now so lets just get on with the comp. predictions for next round anyone
I think
BBI Bronze over Noosa by 10+
SW by 5-10 over Redlands
BBI Silver by 30+ over Cabo
Toowoomba by 10+ over Logan
Im sure SW and Bronze can't wait to see how they go next time probably to decide positions in the top three at the end of the season.

As an onlooker to the Bronze and SW game, there did seem to be a lot of bad Ref calls both ways but perhaps a few extra ones on Bronze. If you look at fouls from Bronze's previous games it does seem that all of a sudden the Bronze boys were fouling left, right and centre according to the Refs anyway.

We need to remember that it wasn't a thrashing, it would have been a tie, but because of an iffy call on the buzzer they ended up with a loss.

I guess when the team normally plays well and doesn't have a huge foul count as a rule it is a little disappointing for them. However, I'm sure the boys will learn from it and keep playing good basketball as did SW.

Standard of Reffing though needs to be looked at!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck to all the Teams this weekend.

[Unregistered]

See Reffing Standards has been mentioned. As part of one of the Toowoomba Teams, let me apologise in advance to all visiting teams and Coaches. The refs we've had on most games this year at home have been terrible. You may get screwed, we may get screwed, they're not biased just flat out bad. Sorry everyone.

Believe Redlands U18s were a victim of this last weekend, very even game, just didnt get the calls, and there was no 50/50, there was no anything. Referee telling a coach to "sit your ass down". Not professional and very average behaviour for an official. Dito to the above.

Watched the SW V Reds game, wow foul central, Josh would have scored more if he wasn't benched on 3 fouls early in the game. 50 mins for first half and a head injury put them behind even further.

Oh yeah Josh scorind 29 in a game is not suprising, he is in my club team a kicks the topagers asses. Im glad he got a big haul against a quality opposition.

There were 2 kids from SW no 5 and 32, awesome talents, enjoyed watching them good game shame about the result though. I will say one thing to the refs of SW. CONSISTANCY!

Silver in a walk-over at Cabo. was all over in the first 5 mins. Suns looked exhausted, heard they had 5 guys playing a school tournament in Brisbane in the morning. they all played like 3 or 4 games then backed up for tep in the arvo. thats tough. credit to silver tho way to structured for the suns. Suns bench had some glimses of brilliance (2 dark twins put on 10-15 in garbage time)

silver won by 30+

What are the Predictions for this week?

[Unregistered]

SW Metro Vs Bris Silver Bris Silver too strong but homecourt will keep SW in it. Silver by 7

Logan VS Bris Bronze Logan are improving and play with real heart right till then end, but Bronze will be too good here by 19

Redlands Vs Caboolture This is the hardest one to pick IMO. Caboolture probably too big for Redlands to contain, and will hang on for the win by 9, but could easily go the other way.

Toowoomba Vs Noosa - The Long Drive may slow Noosa early, but Toowoomba's lack of depth will probably be their undoing as the game goes on. Noosa by 11.

[Unregistered]

This week if other results from previous weeks tell a story (U16 Bronze and U12 Gold) Brisbane Silver will lose against SW on refs calls in the clutch.

So is this obvious Brisbane parents main point that SW refs will make a bad call at the end of the game or just wanting to highlight to everyone that Brisbane will not be good enough to win by a safe margin where there is no clutch situations. Please stop your whinging, when we played at Brisbane the reffing was pretty terrible, the foul count in brisbane's favour and a few calls that weren't even in line with the rules. It happens everywhere. I still predict Brissy to win by close to 10 despite any home advantage for SW.

As a Brisbane player I find these sort of 'blaming the refs' comments very unproductive. A team can still win even if the foul count is uneven if they are good enough. Silver to win by 20.

[Unregistered]

the clock does start from a magic spell bond to the refs arm falling, the ref wouldnt of held his hand up for 3 extra seconds and also, the ref may of dropped his hand, how ever, human error, the person may have just forgot to start the clock...

r tard.

ye i also agree with that other guy,

just do better next time, dont blmae the clock, just play beter defense you hippie

Why the need for the ideot & r tard comments, in response to my attempt to educate the supplier of original post? Their comment was "the clock starting/not starting has nothing to do with the refs." All I did was to explain the rule to them. I guess the response was because I exposed another one of the self appointed experts as a person lacking in the knowledge of the rules of the game.
I enjoy reading the banter on this site, but find it disappointing when comments made with apparent authority, are based on the incorrect interpretation of the rules.
At about the same day, someone also said “in my opinion shot didnt go in before the buzzer went” Of course it doesn’t have too. It just has to have left the hand before to buzzer sounds. FIBA 10.4 The ball does not become dead and the goal counts if made when - The ball is in flight on a shot for a field goal
Someone else stated that the clock was at 0 before the shot. The rules are not concerned with the zero time on the clock for the end of the game, the rules state FIBA 9.8 A period, extra period or game shall end when the game clock signal sounds for the end of playing time.

Anyone wanting a copy of the FIBA rules can get them from http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/FIBA/ruleRegu/p/openNodeIDs/897/selNodeID/897/baskOffiRule.html
Warning – they do not use words like “ideot & r tard” so they maybe difficult for some to understand.

Well, some interseting results from the weekend.

Brisbane Silver Beating South West by 9 to be alone atop the ladder. About the margin I expected there.

Toowoomba beating Noosa by 16, didn't expect that one.

Logan really stepping up and unlucky not to get their first win, well done to Brissy Bronze for hanging on to win by one. Would love a report from someone at this game. Shows Logan are continuing to develop and will win soon enough.

No scores from Redlands/Caboolture yet so an update here would be great too.

Safe break everyone, hope you all hace a great Christmas and look forward to seeing you all come Carnival time

Yeah unfortunately the three and a half hour drive really did hurt us in this one (I had two of my boys fall asleep on the way down). It's no coincidence that we are undefeated at home whilst playing terrible on the road. Simple fact is we just need to get better defensively and learn how to adjust playing so far away from home. Credit to Toowoomba for totally out hustling us and playing a complete game for the most part. They've got some good kids there; I think they'll do well over the second half of the season.

Yes, a surprising result. Well done Luke & team to get over the high foul count against you.

Noosa are a good team on the back for their excellent perimeter shooting. I would like to offer a different point of view on the road situation in a respectful manner.
Sometimes having it too soft at home can really work against you on the road & especially at Classics. It is not the fault of the team or coaching staff, but things like air conditioned rooms, helpful refs and ref supervisors can give players a false gauge on how you are really travelling. Then when you go on the road, it can seem like a totally different game.

This situation is not only at Noosa, with a number of associations having similar difficulties. I will be very interested to see how SW goes next year, after having 5 out of 6 games at home so far. If my theory holds true, people will be trying to blame the coach or the holiday break for the situation. I believe that like Noosa, a good part of the responsibility lies else where.

I know there is not a deliberate action by associations to inappropriately assist their own teams, just some officials that think they are helping. I believe they could be doing the opposite.

Please accept this view in the helpful way it is intended, and bring on the debate.

This comment got me thinking because watching the game, the foul count didn't seem too much of an issue, so I looked up the stats, 20 against Toowoomba, 10 against Noosa. Does this mean a road game for Toowoomba could be easier than a home one. LOL

In all reality it shows good things happen when a team focuses on the job at hand, not things like referees and foul counts. The return leg in Noosa should be a great one if the teams keep developing into next year.

Cab Suns beat Redlands by 3

Suns were up by 20+ for most of the game bust started to coast a little too early. think the coach ran his bench for most of the 3rd and half of the 4th. Credit to Redlands (or should i say #14 and #6) without those two guys redlands would not have a chance at all this season, hope those 2 guys can stay healthy, your team needs you...lol

Suns were just too big in the end, however they did let themselves down with about a bizillion missed layup.

Sir (apologies if you happen to be a woman), you make quite a few good points, and whilst I tend to understand and respect each of them on some level, I do tend to disagree in regards to our team. Yes we do have air conditioned rooms at Noosa, however my team doesn't use them, all of our other rep teams do however. In regards to the referee situation, yes being at home always helps, I make no misconceptions about that, and IMO that's the way it should be. But if you look at the foul count from the Toowoomba game, you'll clearly notice we had the "advantage" so to speak, so I don't think the problem lies there either. Thanks for your perspective though, I do take it on board. But anyway as I have already said, right now our defense stinks, and we (both myself as a coach and my boys) just need to get better, no excuses.

Correct, I am a sir.
I wrote my post knowing you are one of the lowest fouling teams according to the stats. Only you would probably know is the stats or calls are a true reflection of your actual foul count. From what I have seen, I would say they are pretty close. Therefore it may indicate that you have one of the main defensive fundamentals in place, not reaching to make up for poor position or footwork. If this is correct, better D may not be that far away, as the speed of that footwork improves. With a low foul count, you are a better chance in the closer games by not giving away points from the charity stripe, which looks as if it may have helped in the Redlands game?
Good luck to you & the boys.

the bit about your team not using the air conditioned rooms is a lie. you guys were in there until our warm up started as we walked past the bench your boys were coming out of the air conditioned room. not that it had much effect on the result of the game. why do you think there should be a home court advantage its junior basketball not the nba, nbl, or aba/qbl where this does happen. big difference compared to juniors. if we had air conditioned rooms at auchenflower i would get my team to use them too.

I think the result of Thunder Bronze was to do with Logan playing well some bizarre calls both ways especially towards Bronze late in the game also some stupid decisions by Logans guards late and Bronze the majority of the game. I think Bronze were down a player or two and Bronze missed most of there free throws except when it counted. Great game Logan boys good effort and well done to you Bronze to play well late.

Well I beg to differ... Their whole team was only one Maroochydore loss away from making div 1... Based on potential alone, guys like Ayii Piok from Twmba and Jeremiah Wray from Cab could make a PL roster. I'm sure there are others too...

Brisbane Silver still undefeated.( just). Noosa really gave it to them for most of the game and it was all locked up at 67 all with 2 minutes to go. Great shooting from Noosa and tough structured defense. Certainly Noosa are the big improvers over the season. Brisbane Silver are having to come from behind too often. Lucky they have the depth to do this but if one or two of the 4th quarter comeback players were out then there would be trouble. What is with the 5 on 5 off subs?? When does this ever work??

Look for Bronze vs Logan game to be a bit closer than expected.

How is it Logan have not one game, this year in under 16 Southern, when in under 14 Premier last year they were no 1 in the state undefeated and their Southern team came 4th in the state did they lose some of their players?

Seahawks GC Challenge Cup team in U16 Boys still undefeated.

A bit disheartening for the kids that we went 1-3 over the course of the weekend.
I myself was impressed with the improvement from all teams.
Even more impressed with the quality of the women's competition.
BBI Silver obviously still the bench mark... deep and well coached.

Basketball goes up an age group every 2 years. If you want to compare apples with apples then look at results 2 years ago. Logan Premier League finished 7th at classics and 7th(???) in Div 2.
Since then, 2 players from that PL team have moved and 1 not playing this year.
From the Southern Cup team that year, 4 have moved or quit basketball.

Only 1 player from last year's Premier League team is in the southern cup side this year. The rest are last year's southern cup team plus new blood into the team.

As their coach, I am very pleased with their progress this year. Despite losing games, they maintain an excellent focus of the tasks & processes at hand, right the way through to the final siren. This did not occur in their final game yesterday but at the end of a long hot weekend, I am prepared to forgive them.
They gave Noosa a huge scare only going down by 8 (4pt game with 20" to go).
They had a 15-0 run in the last 5 minutes against Caboolture.
Against Sth West I was not unhappy given that this was Sth West's best team with some very talented players.

I have stated this before in other threads and I will say it again here. It is not always about the win. It would be great to get a win in, but ultimately my boys have to llok at the fact that they are playing in a virtual 2nd tier Premier League which has 3 true #2 teams from their respective associations. My focus is on preapring these boys for next year and making sure that they are going to be challenged in the best competition possible. Better that than down in the grade below where we would win a lot of games and not get shapened.

Really? I would say Suns had a better break, they beat logan by 10ish but switched off a few too mins early(credit to logan for uping tempo) lost narrowly to Sth west by 9ish (who are third on ladder), beat Noosa by 9ish (who are 4th on the ladder) and Smashed Toowoomba by 30 who are just below them on the ladder. id say thats a good improvment to beat 2 teams above them on the ladder to put themselves in playoff contention

Actually, they only beat us by 1 pt.
But yes they do look improved.
Good luck to them.

“When does this ever work?” You probably answered your own question when you described this team as “undefeated”

Man, some people are hard to please. You are questioning the tactics of an undefeated team! The BQJBC has 166 teams and only 9 are undefeated at this point. Given that the Silver team is in a very competitive pool where any of the 8 teams are good enough to win on the day, and that makes their performance thus far, even more outstanding.

Keep your eye on the occasional 5 in – 5 out subs, and you would have missed what is really going on.

Keep going Silver, forget the critics.

If it works so well then why not do the 5 in 5 out in the last quarter when silver is normally behind. seems like there is 2 or 3 players that save the day every game last weekend. The southern cup comp is not totally competitive. Half play street ball with 1 or 2 trained players.

should be a good tough game this weekend hopefully...only 1 game sepperating us i think. we have been training hard since the break as im sure all teams are. good to see the bronze boys really openning up under v-dogs comained. he really gets the best out of the kids. so it will be tough for us but hopefully we will come to play.

BBI Bronze choke again great game by suns.

not at all. they played really good all over the court. Our 3pt shooting was oustanding however and that was really what won the game for us. Also Bronze were below par from the line which hurt a lil. their bigs are awesome (#6) killed us on the boards

Our rebounding and general positioning on the court was terrible and it showed in the foul count. just stupid fouls for being out of position. Appologies to the ref's for having to give me a tech. i get a bit excited sometimes...haha

Special mention goes to Andy for a great job in the first half on the score bench....NOT!!!

but in the end im happy that my boys stuck it out and finished off for the win by 1pt.

Thanks V-dog and bronze for our best game of the season.

BBI Silver over Logan by about 18. Something like 72 - 54.

[Matty]

Silver won by about 15-20pts in tthe end.

suns were all over silver in thefirst qrt, silver came back in the second to lead at the half by 4.

second half was a disaster for us, we dropped the ball big time and they ran all over us for the 3rd and 4th.

great job by silver, hopefully we'll get them in the finals/classics

[vdogg]

Any more results?????

bronze defeated noosa by 5, 73 to 68

noosa great job shooting the ball hit like 9 or 10 3's at a very good clip too

well done to my boys for showing some good character to come back after noosa made a great run on us at the start of the 4th qtr. would like to give mention to the kid from noosa #12 very good job shooting the ball as well as their guards who gave my guards alot of trouble getting up the court down the stretch.

[Matty]

Wow was this a game to see. it had everything

* Logan player ejected for swearing twice at the official,
* Suns playing fast and flowing first half
* Leaking roof from rain to delay game for 15 mins
* Logan clamping down on D to stop any post passing from Suns.

firstly id like to say great job by the logan boys for sticking with the game and getting it down to 3 points at one stage. their 0-13 record does not really show what kinda team they COULD be.

to my boys...i said things that needed to be said after the game with regards to our performance after the rain delay and they no how i felt about it so lets just leave it at that...guess we still came out with the W tho, so cant complain too much.

end result was suns by about 10 or so.

Yep, SW beat us up at home by more than 30. Wouldn't at all be surprised if they beat BBI Silver next week, should be a good game.

With the loss it looks as if we have no chance of now making the top 4, so congratulations to those of you that did and best of luck for the remainder of the season.

bronze go down ver bravely to a more experienced silver side by 3 in o.t

bronxe up by 8 with 2.30 to go played their guts out just missed some chances down the stretch and had alot of turnovers but are getting better and were really the better team last night so well done to the bronze team

congrats silver well done down the stretch, but the cracks are starting to appear and a big game with swest at auchenflower next week will be a good one with swest needing to win by 9 or more to get top spot.

should be a cracker

[Matty]

:Dfinals should be interesting this season with some mixd results during the season

its really a matter of matchups as some teams play better or worse against others.

eg - bronze nearly beat silver last week.
suns beat bronze couple of weeks ago
silver beat suns couple weeks ago
swest are the underdogs this season and could quite easily take the minor premiership.

all matchups look good for the final series so hope we all come to play herd and make the fans and families enjoy it.

good luck to all in the coming weeks

suns vs redlnads

suns in a walkover...redlands had no answer for suns running game and bigs inside...was over by qrt time.

finals will be

1. silver/swest (if swest won last night then they go into first i think)
3. Bronze
4. Suns

SW won over Silver but not enough get top of the ladder
Bronze over Logan. Bronze have a better result over Suns.

Finals I believe are as follows.

Silver v Suns

it says that Swest have the higher % than Silver...shouldnt they go into 1st spot? or does it go on the to games played against each other and the for and against points?

if so that means silver finished in first place by 3 little points. wow close season its been, would have loved to have played swest in the semi's but i think we will have a good run at this silver team. provided we dont drop the bundle after half time like we did the other week against them.

wow bronze beat swest are u kidding me.

what happened, swest beat them by 40 plus at the carnival

well sets up what should and hopefully is a great showdown for the southern cup final next week. bronze vs silver.

any other thoughts on who will win and why, remembering that bronze should have won last time being up by 8 with 2.20 to play.

my tip bronze by 5, and what a turnaround that would be the third team in the 16s age group at bbi in the southern cup final and to think they were not even going to be a team and just train as a development group for next year congrats to all the bronze players and coaching staff on a job well done and good luck next week

SW couldn't use new number 22 as he hadn't qualified for finals...it was he that beat Silver last week. That is the difference.
Also Bronze lost that last 2 minutes and the 3 minutes overtime. They crumbled under the 'almost winning ' syndrome. Remember Silver have played most of the season from behind until 3rd quarter so they are very used to playing under pressure.
Silver by 10.

That is interesting to read on 22 so how was he able to play in crossover challenge against Mdore which allowed SW into Div 1 for classics and put Mdore in Div 2. Would like to see how this stacks up and if it is right as it was a final qualifaction game SW 101 Mdore 97

Doen't matter if this storey has a happy ending because it's already had one. how anyone could think that doing jab steps arround a chair in developement camp compares to playing in a final has forgotten why we play. Great job V Dog this is as good as any state championship. Only problem is who in Hollywood could play V Dog and theres no way we could get a PG rating.

thanks for the kind words i would of said nick nolte but he has had his own issues lately

what about george clooney although sports isnt quite his go, maybe will smith he hasnt done much in sports movies lol.

yeh should be a great game this weekend, and the bronze boys are looking forward to the challenge to get that shot at silver after blowing the last one against them.

im extremely proud of the boys that were thrown together, we have had alot of ups and downs this year behind the scenes and this has probably helped to make these kids stronger mentally. we do know silver will be playing as hars as they have all year and wont want to lose to the bronze boys and will think that their name has been on the title since week 1.

good luck to peter and don and the silver guys but we will see you guys saturday.

i never once said that silver have never worked hard at all, in fact i basically said the opposite in that they have been winning by good margins every week therefore they must feel like they deserve to win the game and the title. perhaps you misunderstood what i was trying to say.

Have to agree with V Dog about the above. I see no thrash talking there. no one who has ever watched the silver team practice would question Peter or the boys commitment. Peter has had plenty of behind the scenes dramas with the front office. The same office that was down to the last nail in the bronze teams coffin before V Dog came to the rescue. BBI the winner, some never wanted this game to happen. I hope they watch the game and remember something.

I am also very proud of both teams. There was 16 of these boys at the last selection trial for the Silver team. At the end of that trial I advised the boys (and reported to the front office) that they were all capable of playing at this level, but I only had places for 10. The boys have gone on to prove this statement to be true.

The Silver team have taken nothing for granted all year, and know they have to bring their A game to be in with a chance on Saturday. As hard as you look, I do not believe you will see any loosers on Saturday.

Good luck all and let's see another great game, OT or not.

P.S. Vdogg, I'm not sure which is the biggest stretch, George Clooney or Will Smith?

From what I have seen, Brisbane Silver go 10 deep, spill over to Brisbane Bronze and go another 10 deep. Each player performing well for their contribution to their present results.

To under estimate any of these players would be a mistake.

Check the current ladder for reinforcement of this observation, Brisbane Silver & Bronze are 1 & 2. Early days ofcourse, but it does incate they can all play at this level.

Encouraging to see the biggest winning margin on the weekend was only 13 points. Makes for a great season where any team can win on their day. Well done to all teams.

I hate to have to point out that I was right, but ..........

This game had it all! As predicted Silver's maturity brought them home and the work of the cool headed coaches. What is it with Vdogg and Jordan directly the refing and their team all night long. ( I thought one of the bronze boys must have been called 'travel' they yelled it so often!!!)

Highlight of the game was the minor push shove between Sam W and Jack O, fired up Silver when they needed it. Thanks Sam.
All in all a great game. Little guys seemed to get away with murder compared to the bigs on both teams....

yeh the silver team should be thankful that curtis mccarron was selected in that team because without his father on the sidelines they would not have even made the final let alone win it.

watched games all day saturday and I think this was the best. even over the U18 over time game. just so much going on. did not go according to VDOGG's script but he did have scruffy on the bench. woof woof "yeah you did say 10 points" If bronze had one of silvers 5's it would have been 10 points the other way. so much emotion on the line all game long from coaches, players and parents and all from the same family. could be another movie and in the credits it would have to say who did scruffies hair.

Man what a tragic loser. Parents like you should take up a sport and satisfy your own competitive instincts instead of trying to satisfy them through your kids. Your right, Don is a good Coach and whats more is respected amongst the coaching elite of the country Better if 'Peter' or whoever took notice of what hes saying and improved their game

This was obviously written by a kid from Bronze. No parent would think or say such crap. Grow up kid, attitudes like this is why you are from the loosing team.
Siliver was lucky to have 2 fantastic coaches who with the boys worked as a TEAM.

This was obviously written by a kid from Bronze. No parent would think or say such crap. Grow up kid, attitudes like this is why you are from the loosing team.

i would like to congratulate peter on a fantastic season you have done a great job this year with YOUR team. 15 and 1 is a great acheivement. we have both had to deal with alot of issues and we have both come out on the right side of them.

i will be asking all of my team at training if it was any of them who commented on this and will take action if so. as for the comments there were alot of people who were hoping for a bronze victory from other associations and also impartial spectators who may have commented here.

as coaches sometimes we are very fortunate to have a person of don mccarron's ability as a parent who is willing to put his hand up to help a team out.

i would also like to congratulate the silver team on their sportsmanship at the presentation where they all stood up as we received the silver medals this was very much appreciated by me and showed alot of class.

again peter and the silver boys congrats on the win and good luck at classics hopefully we can get to play you guys again in the div 2 final.

Thanks Vdogg for the kind words.

At training & before the game, I spoke to my team about respect for the Bronze team and what they (and you) have achieved. On Saturday they again proved well worthy of our respected and we thought the best way to show that was to stand and applauded as they received their medals.

It has been a pleasure to have Don come onboard during the season, and despite how his role maybe interrupted, I would not change a thing.

Plenty more work to be done before Classics. Looking forward to it, one game at a time.

Teams that will make it to Div2 Quarter finals - Mdore, Noosa, Townsville, Bronze, Silver, Gladstone, Suns, Cairns. Who wins will depend on match ups?

Teams that will come close but finish 9-12th of Div 2 - Redlands, Logan, Bundy, Toowoomba.

I think Suns and Redlands can cause some upsets at classics, not sure if they can go the whole way though.
